Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
ततो भीत्या विनिष्क्रान्तस्त्वया देवि न लक्षितः । एतस्मात्कारणाज्जाता तेजोहानिरनिन्दिते
tato bhītyā viniṣkrāntastvayā devi na lakṣitaḥ | etasmātkāraṇājjātā tejohāniranindite
پھر خوف کے مارے میں نکل گیا، اے دیوی، اور تم نے مجھے نہ دیکھا۔ اسی سبب سے، اے بے عیبہ، میری نورانیت میں کمی واقع ہوئی۔
Śakra (Indra)
Scene: Indra retreats into shadow, glancing back with fear; his aura visibly dims (halo fading). Diti remains unaware, framed in maternal stillness; the atmosphere shows a subtle eclipse of radiance around Indra.
